This could be about a specific game or gaming as a whole. All that matters is that most people will disagree with you.

For me it's that casual playthroughs on the easiest settings are the most fun. I do enjoy challenges on the occasion, but I'd rather that challenge be through a puzzle or mastering navigation rather than the actual combat itself. When I'm playing a video game, I want to feel as though I'm someone the enemies can't even lay a finger on. To me that's more fun than replaying certain more difficult sections of a game over and over. I do however enjoy the occasional legendary co-op playthrough of a Halo game, but other than that I always choose the easiest difficulty settings when playing through a game. Part of this is because I'm now married and in my young 20's, so I don't have all the free-time in the world, but more than anything this is simply how I enjoy a game the most. (And yes, all my attempts at beating a Dark Souls game have failed, but I will still try once a year or so).

Games are getting too good graphics-wise and too much like movies. I think it's better when video games look(ed) like games and I love late 90s and early 2000s 3D, with PS1 3D being my favorite.

Also, file sizes are starting to get ridiculously large. Even patches are larger these days than full games were some years back.

As for music, I don't like orchestral music (a.k.a. movie music) and it's way overused in games. I can't tell two songs apart from each other and sometimes I don't even realize something is even being played.

(it's as good as any other Rockstar game IMO, but there are so many weird design choices and unbalanced elements, not to mention glitches and bugs, that it's far from the second-coming that everyone makes it out to be - compared to other GOTY contenders like God Of War, RDR2 is a complete mess)

Final Fantasy 13 is actually a really good game.Hideo Kojima killed the Metal Gear series and Konami was right to get rid of him.Rockstar games are boring.Blizzard games are boring.Desmond's storyline in the first Assassin's Creed trilogy was great, and I wish they'd put more emphasis on the modern time story.

That's all I can think of at the moment.

I'm with you on the Desmond story line - always wished they'd explored it further

The original Tomb Raider is a clunky tank control ridden mess, Minecraft is Overrated, I personally think Infinite Warfare is one of the best Call of Duty Campaigns they did, Torchlight 2 is worse than Torchlight 1, Gordon Freeman is a one dimensional character compared to Alyx Vance, I don't like any of the build engine games (Duke Nukem 3D, Shadow Warrior) except Ion Maiden cause most of them are just too complicated in their puzzles, Duke Nukem Forever is not bad for the most part, Super Mario Sunshine is the worst 3D Mario Game, The Xbox One HUD and UI is much better than the PS4's, Diablo 3 is pretty good (definitely for beginners of the genre) and I don't hate Electronic Arts. That is surely going to push some buttons.

EDIT: Now that I thought about it, Half-Life 1 is superior in every way to Half-Life 2. Not saying HL2 is bad by any means, but there are some extremely boring parts and the airboat levels are just super bad. Half-Life 1 has no boring moments even if it's just someone talking for a very long time. Also, I wish the Episodes to Half-Life 2 never happened because it would have been more interesting to see what the Intergalactic Bureaucrats job opportunities they had for Gordon instead of just having Alyx and company again for another adventure.

Can you elaborate on those please?

@TheOro44 couldn't agree more. I'll happily take both but I can suffer through a bad story in a mechanically great game but I can't generally do it the other way around.

The Uncharted Trilogy are not bad games but it is average, creatively inept compared to other games that have climbing or cover based shooting, the puzzles are dumb, characters are one note, the set pieces with their "cinematic" camera placement makes it arbitrarily confusing to move. They're not bad games, it's worse, they're boring and frustrating.

Bethesda games while the concepts are appreciated it's execution is boring and inexcusably buggy.

I unfortunately couldn't enjoy Bayonetta as much as I'd like to.

Rockstar games while have high production values, certain simple mechanics haven't changed when they should have decades ago (why do I need to mash the X button to run?!) and are so completely overrated it's actually kinda stupid. They may make some of the best sandboxes in gaming, they are certainly not the best games ever made.

- first Far Cry is the best, 2nd is the worst- Call of Duty has been ruined the moment they decided to add more killstreak awards- Wolfenstein 2009 is the best in the series- Half-Life > Half-Life 2- Silent Hill 4: The Room > Silent Hill 2- The Last of Us & Shadow of the Colossus are overrated- Medal of Honor highly unlikable as a franchise- same with Halo- Condemned: Criminal Origins is the best horror game to this day- Dino Crisis 2 > Dino Crisis- Duke Nukem Forever really wasn't THAT bad- Hotline Miami > Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number- Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days was alright

The Witcher 3 was disappointing. Not bad, but for a fan of the previous titles, it was rather disappointing. The human vs. non-human conflict that was in the center of the previous games never received any kind of conclusion. Iorveth was completely cut from the game. And despite the fact of how many people whined about Mass Effect 3 not caring about your previous decisions, few noticed that the Witcher 3 similarly didn't give two shits about your previous choices.

Call of Duty not being nowhere near as bad as some people make it out to be. Yes it's always the same, and yes, that might have gotten boring by now, but at its core, it's still a solid shooter.

Chrono Trigger being nothing really special. It doesn't really do anything with the idea of time travel, and the story is extremely straightforward and generic.

Dishonored 2 wasn't really that better than the first one. It only had a mildly better story, which isn't saying much compared how lackluster the first one was, and the second had almost no plot developments at all outside of the prologue. Everything else was just the same, except that since you were doing it for the second time, nowhere near as interesting.

Dragon Age 2 was actually pretty fun. Yes, the environments were repetitive, but the battles were so fast and fluid, that I didn't miss the more tactical and in-depth one from the first. And the smaller scale was a welcome change from the usual save the world stories.

Valkyrie Profile is nowhere near as good as some would like to remember. It had interesting ideas, but the story we were ultimately left with was a generic romance story (if you could find it, that is) with some save the world in the background. Because of the blatant foreshadowing the plot was really predictable, and it moved at a snail's pace as well.

Fallout 76 is a decent game. (I have about 46 hours and I'm still having fun.)

I had a lot less fun with Red Dead Redemption 2.

I've got pretty much the same opinion. I'm 77 hours in and still going. Sure it is an incredibly buggy game that Bethesda should be embarrassed about, but it still manages to be fun. At least, playing with friends it is, I'm not sure if I'd hold the same opinion if I was playing solo.

And the first Red Dead Redemption I only got about halfway through because I found it to be so boring so I didn't even have any interest in RDR2.

I kind of wonder if the whole F76 backlash has delayed Starfield at all. Surely they're going to want to make sure that game is a lot more polished at launch to avoid tarnishing their name even further before Elder Scrolls comes. Especially since they've already said they're sticking with that same engine for both games.
